This paper presents a Finite Element Method (FEM) application to thermal study of natural three layers of human dermal parts of varying properties. This paper carries out investigation of temperature distributions in these layers namely epidermis, dermis and under lying tissue layer. It is assumed that the outer skin is exposed to atmosphere and the loss of heat due to convection, radiation and evaporation of water have also been taken into account. The computations are carried out for one dimensional unsteady state case and the shape functions in dermal parts have been considered to be quadratic. A Finite Element scheme that uses the Crank-Nicolson method is used to solve the problem and the results computed have been exhibited graphically.

Over the last few year, there has been a growing interest in quantitative representation of heat transfer phenomena in weld pools in order to relate the processing conditions to the quality of the weldment produced and to use this information for the optimisation and robotization of the welding process. Normally, a theoretical model offers a powerful alternative to check out the physical concepts of the welding process and to calculate the effects of varying any of parameters. To solve this problem, a transient 2D(two-dimensional) heat conduction were developed for determining bead geometry and temperature distribution for the GMA welding process. The equation was solved using a general thermofluid-mechanics computer program, PHOENICS code, which is based on the SIMPLE algorithm. The simulation results showed that the calculated bead geometry from the developed models reasonablely agree with the experiment results.

In the recently, the necessity of linear position control motors have been increased in the various fields of the automatic control system. In this paper, we have designed the tooth models of the hybrid type linear stepping motor(HLSM); rectangular type(RT), triangle type(TrT), round type(RdT) and wedge type(WT), and proposed the optimum tooth shape of the HLSM by simulating(Flux2D) the thrust and normal force characteristics with the finite element method(FEM) and the virtual work method. And we have manufactured the prototype HLSM with the optimum tooth, and measured the various values by using experimental system. Thus, we have confirmed the justice of theory because the computed and the experimental results almost coincide with.

New time schemes based on the FEM were developed and their performances were tested with 2D wave equation. The least-squares and weighted residual methods are used to construct new time schemes based on traditional residual minimization method. To overcome some drawbacks that time schemes based on the least-squares and weighted residual methods have, ad-hoc method is considered to minimize residuals multiplied by others residuals as a new approach. And variational method is used to get necessary conditions of ad-hoc minimization. A-stability was chosen to check the stability of newly developed time schemes. Specific values of new time schemes are presented along with their numerical solutions which were compared with analytic solution.

This paper deals with extraction of design parameters of Linear Switched Reluctance Motor (LSRM) and electromagnet based on force calculation using space harmonic analysis and 2D Finite Element Method (FEM) measurement. We introduce the design method employing FEM and parameter estimation method and a characteristics of LSRM according to variation of parameter.

Analytical approach was followed in this work under both the steady state and transient operating conditions to find optimum boundary conditions, where the optically accessible quartz engine can run safely without breaking. Temperature and stress distribution was predicted by FEM analysis. In order to validate thermal boundary condition, model reliability and constraint, outside cylinder temperature was measured and previous study was also followed up numerically. To reduce thermal stress level, three types of outside cooling (natural, moderate forced and intensive forced convection) were considered. Effects of clamping force and combustion pressure were conducted to investigate mechanical stress level. Cylinder thickness, was changed to fine the optimum cylinder thickness. The versatile results achieved from this work can be basic indication, which is capable of causing a sudden quartz cylinder breaking during fired operation.

In this paper, we analyze the characteristics of electecromotive force(emf), phase current and torque according to the length of the air gap using 2nd order FEM(Finite Element Method) in Synchronous Reluctance Motor(SRH) and Brushless DC Motor(BLDC) with same volume and size. In the analysis with FEM, we applied the time-step function considering the motor switch in the magnetic vector potential of the unknown node.

The methodology to design initial blanks considering the reduction of both springback and flange trimming amounts is studied. Three dimensional forming analysis of a trial blank Is first carried out using FEM and the tentative Initial blank shape is then determined by cutting the outer edge of the trial blank whose shape is nearly matched with the trimming line. During the shaping the blank edge, tile movement of blank outer line is described with random variables to reduce the sensitivity of initial blank geometry. After performing 2-D FEM forming and springback simulations for selected sections and optimizing the trimming and springback amounts in terms of section length of the blank, the initial blank is finally determined. In order to see tile springback reduction in the initial blank determined by the proposed method, a stepped s-rail is stamped and the sppingback is measured. The springback of newly designed initial blank of stopped s-tail is tremendously reduced.

Reheating furnace is an essential facility of a rod mill plant where a billet is heated to the required rolling temperature so that it can be milled to produce wire. Although it is very important to obtain information on billet temperatures, it is not feasible during furnace operation. Consequently, a billet temperature profile should be estimated. Moreover, this estimation should be done within an appropriate time interval for an on-line application. In this paper, a billet heat transfer model based on 2D FEM(Finite Element Method) with spatially distributed emission factors is proposed for an on-line billet temperature estimation and also a measurement is carried out for two extremely different furnace operation patterns. Finally, the difference between the model outputs and the measurements is minimized by using a new optimization algorithm named uDEAS(Univariate Dynamic Encoding Algorithm for Searches) with multi-step tuning strategy. The obtained emission factors are applied to a simulation for the data which are not used in the model tuning for validation.

This paper presents a dynamic model of 2-D magnetostriction in electrical steel sheet (ESS) under rotating flux magnetization conditions and its implementation in finite element method (FEM). For an arbitrary waveform of magnetic flux density (B), the corresponding magnetostriction waveform can be predicted by the model. In order to apply the model to FEM easily, the model is based on trilinear interpolation method. As an example, the model is applied to a three-phase transformer constructed by highly grain-oriented electrical steel sheets and the numerical results by the magnetostriction model are discussed.
